Why brew with mineralised water?

Water is one of two ingredients that makes up pour over coffee, in fact water makes up 95% of the entire drink and is often the most overlooked variable when it comes to brewing.

While most tap water in Melbourne is of an acceptable mineral content to make pour over coffee, it certainly isn't the 'best' water to use and without mineralising your own water you don't have the control to change how your coffee tastes using water minerals.

"Water minerals are like seasoning"

Think of water minerals like seasoning: When you cook a meal majority of the flavour comes from the ingredients, the freshness and quality of your ingredients play a huge roll in how your dish tastes. When you cook your food this is the same as your brewing method, changing the process to extract and alter the flavours of your ingredient. And finally the seasoning at the end of your dish is the same as your water minerals, by altering the amounts of different minerals you are able to control the flavour of how your coffee tastes.

How To Use Apax Lab Water Minerals:

Brew Water Mineralisation

We recommend using demineralised or low-mineral content water. For every litre of water, incorporate 3 to 4 grams of APAX LAB mineral concentrate. This method guarantees a more uniform and duplicable base, ensuring seamless integration of the minerals.

Post Brewing Mineralisation

Optimise your coffee's flavours by adding APAX LAB mineral concentrate directly to the cup. This method delivers immediate notable results.

Filter (200mL): 5 to 10 drops
Espresso (40mL): 1 to 3 drops
Milk-Based (150mL): 3 to 6 drops
